A MOTHER SAVED FROM AN
UNTIMELY DEATH.
Tears of Sorrow Turned to Smiles
of Rejoicing.

ROCHESTER,, Aug. 81, 1886.
PARDEE MEDICINE Co. - ENrLEMEN:I am now
seventy.three years old, and until I was seventy I
was always strong and healthy; but the amount of
suffering I have endured since that time, I feel to
be sufficient for a lifetime. I had q severe attack
me; my imbsa and feet and in fact my whole body,
was so drawn out of shape that it was impossible
to move without assistance. I was unable to

tered, and my limbs rubbed, bathed and bandaged,
but nothing they could do afforded me even tempo.
rrary relief. Tongue cannot describe my suffering.
l urged them to let me try DR.. Pardee's Remedy,
as l had read so much about It, and of those who
had been cured by it's use, that it gave me conf
dence in it. although confess l had little or no faith
In so-called patent medicines.
j commenced using the Remedy as directed,
and after taking it a short time could see that it
as the respiration increased the pain decreased,
but my clothing and bedding was a sight to behold,
being nearly as "yellow as saffron" 1 had taken
the Remedy but a short time, when I could sleep
like a child, and relish my food like one.
Thank God 1t has cured me, and I am as healthy
and strong as before, and can walk and have as free
use of my limbs as ever. I have recommended
your Remedy to very many who were afflicted, and
1 do not know of q case that 1t has not cured. I am
confident that it will cure young people, 4 It will
cure at my age. You are at liberty to use myoname,
if 1t will be the means of inducing any poor sufferer
to use your excellent Remedy. / amyery gratefully
yours, Mrs. JANE
800 Jefferson Avenue, Rochester, NY.
The sale Of DR.. Pardee's Remedy for the past
three months in Western New York has exceeded
that of any remedy known.
BY cures wholly unprecedented In the history of
medicines it has proven its right to the title of
" The Greatest Blood Purifier" ever offered to the
afflicted. We challenge any medicine to show an
appreciation at home, or wherever used, like that
which has been poured upon DIR. Pardee's Remedy.
The permanent cures It has effected have made
for it a reputation that no other remedy has been
able to attain. Send for pamphlet. 4

A Dutch Landscape.

ADutch landscape presents a certain
ly not unpleasing uniformity. The eye
takes in at once a broad expanse. The
view is bounded by trees that are only
in rows or small groves, but seem to
become a forest as the distance in
creases. The most striking feature is
the broad meadows, literally covered
with cattle, such as are seen in the
pictures of native artists. These fields,
when the ground is near the level Of
the water, r divided into parallelo-
grams separated by small canals or
bitches covered with aquatic v~egeta-
ton. Communication between parts
of the same property is maintained by
low bridges scarcely rising above the
general surface. Here and there are
farm-houses on the brink of a canal or
among the fields, usually encircled by a
garden, and a few trees, and perhaps
the ground slightly raised or depressed
by a low dixie. The farm-houses re-
semble in a general way those of Bel
GUM, with their steep roofs covered
with tiles and their small windows.
They are not so trinity kept, and the
scattering villages are not so neat.
Now and then a church may be noticed
standing alone, on ground raised three
Or foul feet above the plain, surround
ed by a wall, its spire rising from a
mass of foliage. There are here and
there villages stretched for a mile or
more in single file on either side of a
canal which serves as the only street.
Windmills are visible On every hand,
each supported by a tower so low that
when the arms revolve they seem al
most to touch the ground. Nowhere
can they be seen in such numbers or al
closely grouped as in some localities
about San Francisco bay. They are
we'll made and we'll kept, but no longer
or more powerful than a be seen in
many localities in France. Over these
monotonous landscapes there bends a
sky, not Italian, not deeply, darkly,
beautifully blue, not even at the autumn
season, but of that white-cerulean tint
which seems ever to remind you that
winteris close at hand. But the clouds
are often soft, feecy, and comforting,
and the light which bathes the mea-
dows has nothing of the desert glare.
nothing opthalian in its fullness, but is
rest and healing to the weary eyes OF
the traveler.-Brooklym Magazine.

A Practical Joke on a COnjurer.

A popular performer, whose name [
withhold out of consideration for his
feelings, was once made the victim OF
a practical joke which is too good to
be lost. He was exhibiting the trick
in which a borrowed hat is torn to
pieces, placed in a mortar, and fired at
the gallery. The moment the report is
heard the hat is seen suspended from
the proscenium arch, and not until
commanded by the performer does 1t
fall, and is caught by him. Of course
the borrowed hat is exchanged for one
belonging to the performer, and while
this is being torn up, the original is
hastily attacked to a string leading
from the upper proscenium box, or
from the top round of a high ladder
| standing inside the wings, thence
| through a hole in the proscenium arch.
to an assistant who is stationed there.
At the proper moment the hat is
thrown from the box or the ladder top.
and rapidly hauled to its place, after
which all that remains to be done is to
cut the string and let it drop. On the
occasion referred to, the performer
having had some words with his as
sistant, that gentleman determined to
.sget even." That night, at the close
of the trick, when the professor
triumphantly pointed his finger above
and was about to remark, as was his
nightly custom, 1--WE saw the fragments
of the hat wrapped up and placed in
the mortar; behold now the re-appear-
ance of the hat" his eye caught sight
of a distressed-looking white hat dang
ling in the place of the gorgeous bor-
rowed black me-, his wretched joke
froze on his lips, and he beat an iggnom-
inious retreat.-Harper's Young People.
